BRUSH FOR WASHING WINDOWS.

Specification of Letters Patent No. 24,491, dated June 21, 1859.

1o all whom 'it 'may concern.'

Be it known that I, PHILIP C. RowE,

of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and' State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful or Improved Hydraulic Brush for Washing Windows, &c.; and I do hereby declare that the same is fully described and represented in the following specification and` the accompanying drawings, of which- Figure l is a side view, Fig. 2 a longitudial section, and F ig; 3 a transverse section of it.

rIhe nature of my invention consists in a brush constructed with a spray jet tube, and a water conductor or pipe so applied' to its stock and handle that Water may be led into the brush and discharged among the bristles thereof and against the window or surface against which the" brush may be operating while such brush may be in use.

In the drawings, A, denotes the brush body or stock, B, its handle and, C, the mass of bristles extending from the stock. Along the middle of the upper surface of the stock or'within the collection of bristles extended therefrom, a spray jet tube or discharger D, is arranged, the same at or near its middle being connected to a conduit or pipe, E, leading through the stock and either constituting a part of the handle F, or running alongside of the same as circumstances may require. In this conduit or hollow handle I place a stop cock G. The lower end of the handle or conduit may be connected with a flexible hose or water conductor H, by which water under pressure may be led into the conduit and the' spray jet and discharged out of the orifices a, a, a, a, of the latter.

For washing windows, a contrivance or hydraulic brush constructed in manner as above described is an exceedingly useful article, as by means of it, the rubbing of the surface to be washed can be performed atthe same time the water is being discharged against it and thus it can be more thoroughly cleansed than after the water has run from it.

I claim- The hydraulic window washer or brush, constructed with the spray jet tube and the conduit or pipe applied to its stock and handle, substantially in manner and to operate as above specified.

. In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my signature.

PHILIP C. ROVVE.
